When Faith Is the Last Thing You Feel

By the Pace with Grace editorial team

I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!

There are moments when faith feels like the last thing you have. When the voices of doubt and fear are louder than any whisper of trust.

The father in Mark 9 knew this feeling. He'd been to everyone else for help, and now he's standing in front of Jesus, asking for the one thing he's not sure he has: faith.

'If you can?' said Jesus. 'Everything is possible for one who believes.' Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'

Mark 9:23-24

This is a prayer for the in-between moments. When you're not sure what you believe, or if you believe at all. It's a prayer that acknowledges the tension between faith and doubt.

Faith isn't the absence of doubt. It's the willingness to show up, even when you're not sure. It's the decision to take the next step, even when the path ahead is unclear.

God, I don't feel faith right now. I feel doubt, I feel fear, I feel uncertainty. But I'm showing up, because that's all I can do. Help me overcome my unbelief, even if it's just for today. Amen.

When this hits in real life.
